“It’s hard to imagine that in 200 years or more — when historians dig into the culture of the late 20th century — anyone but the Beatles and Bob Dylan will be worth more than a passing mention,” (Writer Jeff) Slate wrote. “That means Young and Joni Mitchell and Bruce Springsteen and, of course, Paul Simon — all giants in their day — will be no more than footnotes, at best, to Dylan and the Beatles, if only because history is a blunt instrument and doesn’t have room (at least not in the broadest sense) for subtlety.”

Newsflash for Jeff Slate! If neither Dylan nor the Beatles ever existed, there would still be a wealth of interesting, innovative, influential and entertaining late 20th century music (and culture) with substantial longevity. Sadly, but truthfully, the work of Jeff Slate would (and will) not be included in that vast body.
